♪ WHO KILLED ROCK-N-ROLL? ♪
(Letra e música de Rick Springfield)

Rap put the bullet into Rock-N-Roll's head
Radio used her and left her for dead
Black roses bloom from where she bled
Come on, come on is there anybody out there?

Crime scene's closed there's a body on the floor
Fifty million kids knockin on the door
Everyone's horny, no one can score
They need rock'n roll

Who killed Rock-N-Roll?

There's a riot in heaven and the dead are placing bets
Angels shooting pool and smoking cigarettes
Big man's angry, as angry as she gets
God wants rock'n roll

Who killed Rock-N-Roll?

Who smaked her and trapped her and kicked her in the head?

Who killed Rock-N-Roll?

I turn on my radio and all I hear is this…
Rock-N-Roll sleeping in the black abyss
All she needs is a long wet kiss
All Hail Rock

Who killed Rock-N-Roll?

Who smaked her and trapped her and kicked her in the head?

Who killed Rock-N-Roll?

Esta, provavelmente, é uma das primeiras músicas compostas por Rick. Vejam o que ele próprio diz sobre ela:

- É apenas uma música que escrevi porque minha mãe disse "porque você não escreve uma canção feliz, filho?" Eu havia escrito coisas sobre suicídio e triângulos amorosos, então escrevi uma canção feliz. (1984, em entrevista para uma rádio)

- Eu tinha 17 anos quando a escrevi. Acho que eu tinha uma tendência musical country... (2000, durante um show em Milwaukee, USA)

Speak To The Sky foi o primeiro single do Rick em carreira solo. Anteriormente, ele participou de uma banda australiana chamada Zoot, que é um assunto para um outro post.

Anos 70!

♪ SPEAK TO THE SKY ♪
(Letra e música de Rick Springfield)

Speak To The Sky when ever things go wrong
And you'll know you're not talkin' to the air, to the air
And the world will look better from up there

Speak To The Sky 'cause things can get ya down
And you'll know when you're talkin' to the Lord, to the Lord
The world will look better than before

And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind
Or if the road I'm on seems awful hard to find
And though my conversation doesn't always rhyme
I always try to find some time to

Speak To The Sky and tell you how I feel
And you know sometimes what I say ain't right
It's all right, cause I Speak To The Sky every night

And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind
Or if the road I'm on seems awful hard to find
And though my conversation doesn't always rhyme
I always try to find some time to

Speak To The Sky and tell you how I feel
And you know sometimes what I say ain't right
It's all right, 'cause I Speak To The Sky every night

Speak To The Sky when ever things go wrong
And you know you're not talkin' to the air, to the air
And the world will look better from up there.
